In a way, yes. Certain "postulates" or "axioms" are assumed to be true; all other statements are derived from those. The "postulates" are chosen so that they are reasonable and simple assumptions.

If you try to prove the postulates, you have to derive them from some other statements, so sooner or later, you will always have unproved statements. That can't be avoided.
